I had to drag mine out of the weeds too But I paid $50 for mine Shes currently up and running, I have some idle issues to work out. But other than that shes gettin ready for the road again too!!!

Good luck, I like those wheels. If you want to trade them to me for some "+" style wheels I am so totally game

Good luck!

Mine was sitting in a yard since 95. Currently in my garage getting restored a bit at a time. The interior looks good and I like those wheels.

If those are true Panasports, cleaned up, restored they are worth more than what you paid for the car. Don't let the vultures con you into a trade for stock + wheels.

I like the black on black man. thats what I'm gonna do to mine but satin black on everything instead of gloss . Sweet car bro .


As for the wheels I am not planning on getting rid of them , im going to have a guy blast them with walnut shells to get all the gold paint of and then paint them satin black with a polished lip . They are not "panasports" atleast I dont think . The center caps say Carrol shelby racing.

I just wanted to say , All the support from you guys gives me that much more motivation to really get the ball rolling on this thing . Thanks to all


However Im in need of a driverside tailight , rear bumper cover, passenger side frnt fender and a decent gas tank aswell . So far thats the only major parts I need so If anybody knows where to find these items please let me know .

very nice car for the price!! i see the two spoke steering wheel and what appears to be manual mirrors. both indicators of an S model. either way, excellent purchase and keep us updated with your progress!!

mikeE1982

I take it the "s" means its a base model?

It does have manual mirrors , and well manual everything.lol

Yeah S is the base model (my favorite btw, I like simple) Looks like you got a very good deal for $200! I got my 83 GS from a junkyard, was sitting with no tires on it for who knows how long. Took quite a while to restore, but its been my daily driver for the last 4 years and hasn't let me down yet! Good luck with your's!

If I'm not mistaken those carol shelby wheels are pretty rare and a good find. Cleaned up they are probably worth more than the car! Nice find. I paid 700 for mine barely running and needing a lot of work. And my interior was trashed. So 200 sounds like a deal to me! Congrats
